Module: Brain and Behavioural Change Programme: Neuroeffective Tools for Living, Learning and Leading - with Professor Patricia Riddell and Ian McDermott

As we move up the ladder of success in the workplace, or when we become parents, we are required to make decisions and plan for events that affect people’s lives – sometimes in highly significant ways. We are also responsible for bigger budgets and financial planning. But we don’t always get support for how to get the best from the decision-making systems in our own and other’s brains.

Through improving our understanding of the different mechanisms that are available in the brain for decision-making, individual differences in how these are used, and the situations in which these are most likely to be activated, we can better understand how effective decisions are made. This leads to tools and techniques that we can use to drive more effective decision-making for ourself and others.

By the end of this module, you should:

  • Understand the evolution of decision making and the brain systems that are in place to mae decisions.
  • Differentiate between different decision making processes and understand the strengths and limitations of each.
  • Be able to consider which decision making system to use in particular contexts.
  • Have tools to help with decision making in complexity.
  • Be able to optimize individual and team decision making and planning.
  • Be able to describe the brain systems involved in decision making and planning in a manner that is accessible and useful to non-experts.
